Procedure
0. Wash and dry the vegetables. Cut the eggplant, zucchini, peppers, and tomatoes into thin slices, about 5 mm thick, trying to make even slices for even cooking. Slice the onion and mince the garlic as before.
1. In a pan, heat a little olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is soft. Add the diced tomatoes, a pinch of salt, pepper, sugar, and the herbs (thyme and rosemary). Cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, until the tomatoes release their juices and are soft. Set aside.
2. Take a baking dish (about 20x30 cm) and lightly grease the bottom with a little olive oil. Pour the prepared tomato sauce into the bottom of the dish, spreading it evenly. Arrange the vegetable slices in order, alternating and slightly overlapping them to form a spiral or regular rows. You can arrange the slices in a circle (spiral) or in parallel lines, alternating the vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, peppers, and tomatoes) to create a nice color contrast.
3. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and herbs to taste (such as basil or thyme). Cover the baking dish with foil.
4. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the pan for about 30-40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still well-defined. If you'd like the vegetables to brown further, you can remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
5. After cooking, turn on the oven grill (220°C) and let the ratatouille brown for 5-10 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on the ratatouille during the browning process to prevent it from burning.
6. Once ready, you can garnish with a little fresh basil before serving. Serve the ratatouille warm as a side dish or main course.
